ROUND ROCK, Texas – Saturday afternoon, just minutes after Boston College Club defeated Georgia, 12-7, to claim its first WCLA Division I title, four of BC’s players found themselves together for one of the plethora of celebratory photos that were being taken by parents and supporters. 

Standing on the Field 1 turf at Round Rock’s Multipurpose Complex, there was an odd feeling of familiarity between the current moment and one that occurred last spring.

“Everybody hates doing it, but it pays off,” said senior team captain Erin Haverty.

Boston College Club and Loyola Maryland Club both utilized strong second half performances to capture the 2022 WCLA Division I and II national championships Saturday in Round Rock, Texas.
